Nice one, heard good things about Toyo's... particularly the T1R.

What Merc does she have again? Tell me its a C63 AMG. :)

If anyone needs to replace tires right now there is a Parking Lot sale at the Kipling Good year plant. The plant is just south or Kipling and Evans.

need some advice. Just bought an '03 Acura 3.2 CL S Type with low mileage, this thing kicks like crazy, cant wait to drive it...

but my old '98 CL has gone to shit. Transmission is gone, windshield frame is rotted and leaks through, etc. I honestly have no idea where to price it or even if it's worth anything. Since I bought a new CL I'lll be pulling my new Yoko Touring S tires off so what the hell do I do with this thing?

Any opinions on a 2003 Saturn LW200 5sp? I'm looking for a fairly inexpensive (under 7K) low mileage family car that will be reliable and good on gas and not suck to drive. Also considering a legacy/outback wagon but a nice one is quite a bit more money and I've heard they have head gasket issues.

Thoughts?

Lexus IS 250

Not rushing out to buy this now but my fiance and I are tossing around the idea of buying ourselves a new or used car as a wedding gift in exactly a year from now. Something nice and affordable, hence possibly used. Right now the 2010 camero is topping the list. We've thought about getting another Mazda 6. This one has been good to us and we both really like it. We've looked at some Acura TL's or maybe a used Mitsubishi Evo or something. Lately it seems we have seen a lot of these lexus's and we both just love the look of them. Haven't read to many reviews yet so I thought I would ask you guys.

We saw one on autotrader.ca. 2007, 34,000kms on it going for 21,500 or something close to that. Mint condition!

Ford Flex, I can only say I know two people who own them and cant seem to say enough good things about them.

I personally find it to be really long but with kids I am sure its a great option that is not a dodge caravan haha.

Type Ford Flex test drives and reviews into you tube. You may find some good info there.

^^ The truth

Drives like a mid-size sedan.. built on a mazda CD3 platform.

Odd looking at first.. but honestly.. it grows on you quicker than you may think..

( PM me for best deal :p ... seriously )

P.S. - Best seat Ford has EVER made in terms of comfort.

Thanks guys! We really need a bigger vehicle - 2 kids in car seats and a love of camping means our little corolla just isn't quite enough anymore.

I've looked at all the vans, and I just don't like them I find. An SUV would give us the space, but not additional seating.... and I have to say, the Flex seems to fit everything we're looking for. I've also been checking out the Dodge Journey but it's not as cool.

We dropped Wouter's car off last week at the detailer:

And he went and picked it up last night:

I think we'll need to take some pictures of our cars together now that we both have a white car. His is a wrap though, so he can go back to blue whenever he feels like it.

When did you go to the ring? Did you love it?

We were out for a drive in the German Eifel today and ended up down that way, it looked really busy.
